Blocking IP's

[MrLeN]

<Limit GET>
order deny,allow
deny from 196.200.5.18
deny from 80.87.89.20
</Limit>

I have used the above code in the .htaccess of a site I am working on. I have found that all the fraudulent visitors have the IP's:

80.87.89.115
80.87.89.117
80.87.89.158
80.87.89.223

If I add:

80.87.89.*

to the .htaccess, will that work?

I want to block the whole range. Fricken fraudsters!

So I will have:

<Limit GET>
order deny,allow
deny from 196.200.5.18
deny from 80.87.89.*
</Limit>

Will that work?

Alternative:

You have to include the code in your .htaccess file.

I don't believe you need the star

Just
